BUKIT MERTAJAM, Malaysia–Flight steward Sanjid Singh Sandu, 41, was not supposed to be on Flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n\n

According to his father Jijar Singh, 71, Sanjid had switched his shift with a colleague.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cHe last came home last month. My son spoke to me over the phone just before his flight yesterday (Wednesday). I didn’t know that would be my last conversation with him. What has happened has happened,\u201d said Jijar in between tears as he spoke to reporters at his house at Taman Selamat in Alma here.<\/p>\n\n

Jijar and his wife received the news from their daughter-in-law, who is also a flight stewardess at Malaysia Airlines at 4am on Friday.<\/p>\n\n

He added that Sanjid was his youngest child and only son.<\/p>\n\n

Air traffic control lost contact with the Boeing 777-400 around 12:15 GMT near the Russian-Ukrainian border.<\/p>\n\n

Flight MH17 took off from Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport shortly after noon Thursday and was supposed to land in Kuala Lumpur at about 6.10am local time on Friday.<\/p>\n\n

Flight tracking data indicated that the plane was at its cruising altitude of 33,000 feet when it disappeared.<\/p>\n

The Boeing 777 is believed to have been shot down 50km from the Ukraine-Russia border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
